[quote=Anonymous]We just recently moved to the DMV from the midwest and our kids play on travel soccer A team.  We're looking for a travel soccer to join in the DMV, preferably Arlington area.  Kids are 16 and 12.

When they were playing from the age of 8 to 15, my wife who is a pediatric neurologist, served as a volunteer doctor for the team at both practices and matches.  Her job is to make sure that the kids are safe and identify potential injury issues such as concussions and head trauma.  That's what she does for a living.

Now that we're here and her new job will not allow her to attend games and matches.  She wants to be sure that there are physicians on the side line to make sure that kids will be ok during practices and matches.  She is having a hard time of letting it go because of her profession, the likelihood of concussions will go up as kids get older.  My wife is having a hard time of letting them join a travel team without having at least a parent on the team who is a neurologist at practices and matches if she can not be there.

Does soccer travel team in this area that have parents who are also doctors that volunteer their time at practices and matches?  Can you please share if you do?[/quote]
